Subject: [firebird-support] RE: Default column value not applied

Rick,

> Is it because I'm explicitly trying to insert NULL for the column?

As Ivan already responded, Yes

The rational is that DEFAULT only applies if the column is not listed in
the INSERT statement, by SQL standard.

Assigning a value of NULL is a direct/positive action, so the DEFAULT
does not apply.
